A Box Of Megan
"So, say you were meeting a new person--blind date, new friend, who knows--and you wanted them to have some idea of what kind of person you are, and who you are. But you can't actually tell them in so many words. Instead, you have to give them a box, with a dozen things in it for them to look at/read/listen to/taste/whatever. What would you put in the box? And a copy of your journal or a link to your journal would be the same thing as just telling them directly, yourself, so that's not allowed."
What I would put in such a box and for what purpose:
1) Cowboy Bebop DVDs
- To Convey: She loves good character development
2) My pink and black Ipod Allison.
- To Convey: She has diverse, refined, slightly obscure taste.
3) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
- To Convey: She is a reader and a romantic.
4) At The Back Of The North Wind by George MacDonald
- To Convey: She is moralistic, "religious" yet fanciful, "old", and dreamy.
5) My Mary Kate and Ashley perfume with the label scratched off
6) The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien
- To Convey: She is a Tolkien fan. Here is the "ancient" theme again.
7) A small collection of stories I�ve written (NOT my journal. NOT A journal, but a few of my stories)
- To Convey: She is a writer.
8) A small box with two strands of hair in it
- To Convey: Her hair color. Her attachments. Her romantic side again.
9) Black mesh hand warmers
- To Convey: She has a sharp, unique fashion taste.
10) Strand of pearls
- To Convey: She is classic.
11) Digital camera
- To Convey: She is an amateur photographer.
12) Oil paints
- To Convey: She is an artist
